Hour of Devastation instead of Fate is Rarely Fair

I don't understand the new schedule of PvP event, especially the FIRF event. The reasons :
- 3 days event instead of 2 days means more pressure to stay in Top 50
- rewards give you Kaladesh block cards but if they become non-Standard after the upcoming Ixalan release, it is a waste of playing time.

Instead of Kaladesh events can we have Hour of Devastation which gives HOU set cards. In order to reward or encourage people to get the HOU PW, the three nodes should require the use of the 3 PW that have been released for the current block.

I know some players won't be happy but the PW requirement is the only reason why that rarely used but well publicized event in the release note was created at the beginning.

    We need a range of events, lots of us hate the "5 vehicles" part of FIRF but having _anything_ different is good right now.
    People need access to all sets, yes they need standard _more_ but they still need the others.
    People have recently been arguing for a bunch of the older events to be reintroduced because we've been having too much repetition and I think that is the strongest position right now.


    If you don't feel like playing then just do the minimum for the rewards or just skip it completely, you shouldn't be feeling pressure to try and stay in the Top 50 for everything anyway, that's a bad thing you are doing to your mental health.

    FIRF is definitely my least favorite event, so i'm just not playing it. It's a lot of unfun grinding for a dupe rare and a couple packs of commons.

    I play to progression on FiRF now and don't sweat it if I fail to drop  all 5 vehicles.  I haven't gone full troll yet but if they're still forcing this on us in a month...

    I wonder if FIRF will stick around as an event after the Ixalan release... after all, it has vehicles too.
